code is not visible as you type.)
Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press .
Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for Service” which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Tip:
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.

Your screen remains blank while your device is off (unless the battery is charging).
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 16

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.3 hours of continuous digital talk time or up to 96 hours of continuous digital standby time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note:
Tip:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
To install the Li-Ion battery:
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the battery is inserted into the matching slot in the phone.
2. Slide the battery up until it snaps into place.
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 17
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored
numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery release.
3. Slide the battery down and away from the phone and remove.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the phone sounds a warning tone and an alert window is displayed.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power charger to charge your battery.
To prevent data loss, make sure that you perform an ActiveSync operation on a regular basis. This will minimize any data loss between the phone and the desktop/laptop computer.
Warning!
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 18
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Charger/Desktop Charger
To use the Travel Charger/Desktop Charger:
1. Insert the phone into the Desktop Charger cradle being careful
to insert the power/data interface connector.
2. Press down and back until the phone is locked into place.
3. Plug in the Travel Charger connector to the back of the
Desktop Charger and plug the other end into a standard wall outlet receptacle.
When charging the battery, a red light is displayed on the front of the Desktop Charger. A charging icon is also displayed in the upper right corner of the screen on your phone’s inside or outside LCD screen.
When the battery is completely charged, a green light is displayed on the front of the Desktop Charger.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown standard battery and 6 hours for an extended battery.

Performing an ActiveSync Operation

The ActiveSync application is responsible for keeping your SP-i600 and desktop or laptop machine synchronized. By keeping both your devices synchronized, you minimize the risk of losing any information. The ActiveSync operation is done using a partnership that is created between the SP-i600 and the computer. This partnership is unique to the device and cannot be used with any other ActiveSync enabled devices.
For more information regarding the ActiveSync operation and how to set up your SP-i600 to connect to the desktop or laptop machine, see the Guide to Activating and Using Your Phone included with your device.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecom­munications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press . (A brief explanation
of TTY Mode will display.)
2. Press left or right to select On or Off and press to Save
and exit.
Note:
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Section 2B: Controlling Your Phone’s Settings 43
If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint PCS recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 83

Using Digit Dial

Digit Dial allows you to dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number by speaking the number naturally, without pausing between the digits.
Tips for using Digit Dial:
Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.
When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each
digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.
The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say "one-eight-zero-zero."
The phone recognizes only valid 7 or 10 digit North American
phone numbers.
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when
you are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. (See "Adapting Digit Dial" on page 85 for details.)
To place a call using Digit Dial:
1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding . (The
phone prompts you for a command.)
2. Say Digit Dial. (The phone prompts you to say the number.)
3. Say a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number
naturally and clearly.
Note:
If desired, you can say the number "1" before the area code. This is not required; the call is made both ways.
4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct
number, say "Yes ." (You can also select the correct number from those displayed on the screen by pressing on the correct number. The phone will then dial the number.)
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 84
5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an incorrect
number, say No. (If there are other alternatives, the phone will prompt you with the next one. You can also press the navigation key up or down to select the correct number from the Choice List, and then press to dial.)
Note:
In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make sure that the number is a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number, and then say the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand the number on the second try, it will not place the call.

Enabling/Disabling Digit Dial Choice Lists

You can customize whether the Digit Dial feature displays the list of top voice recognition choices or automatically dials the first number, without displaying a choice list.
To enable or disable choice lists for Digit Dial:
1. Press for Start.
2. Highlight More and press .
3. Highlight More again and press .
4. Highlight Voice Signal Setup and press .
5. Press for Voice Settings.
6. Press for Choice List.
7. Highlight Digit Dial and press to place a check mark in
the box.

Adapting Digit Dial

Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker independent Digit Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on your phone unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 85
Note:
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently mis-recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:
Adapt digits in a quiet place.
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if
there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can say or select No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will then be prompted to re-record the sequence.
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:
1. Press for Start.
2. Highlight More and press .
3. Highlight More again and press .
4. Highlight Voice Signal Setup and press .
5. Press for Adapt Digits.
6. When you are ready to start recording, press . (The phone
prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)
7. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal
tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and asks you if the recording sounds "OK.")
If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no
background noises), say Yes .
If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems, say
No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)
8. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. (Repeat this
step until you are satisfied with the recording.)
9. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the
recording process with the next set of digits. (After six sets of digits, the phone will ask you whether you want to do more adaptation. Answer Yes .)
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 86
10. Repeat steps 4-7 for another six sets of digits. (After the sixth
set of digits, you will be half-way through the session and the phone will ask “More Adaptation?”)
11. Select OK to continue for six more sets of digits, or press
for partial adaptation. When you are finished with a full session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”
Note:
It is recommended that you perform the complete adaptation of Digit Dial at least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation is performed, you can always return later and resume the process from the half-way point.
Resetting Digit Dial Adaptation
To erase any adaptation and reset Digit Dial to its original state:
1. Press for Start.
2. Highlight More and press .
3. Highlight More again and press .
4. Highlight Voice Signal Setup and press .
5. Press for Erase.
